maps are just as key to military discussion as any panzer or gewehr is

How should this thread work? Should we just have people bring up war plans and what they thought was right/wrong with them or should it be more of a creative thing where the OP comes up with war scenario and the streloks come up with ways to invade that country.

The second would be very involved we'd need to look into where the countries military bases are and points of interest and what kind of supplies/equipment we would need and the capabilities of the forces at war.

>>551049

both of those seem like very promising propositions, we could probably have both in the same thread, one for historical discussion and the other for theoretical discussion/fun

>>551087

Hell maybe we could even do war gaming ffs on a tactical scale :).\

I have no life and I play Hearts of Iron III with the HPP mod soooo

>>551115

perhaps a /wgg/ war games general? we could study different countries and their military capabilities and match them up against likely opponents. and even include modifiers like circumstances, politics, technology, etc

Use it frequently myself. Might not be exactly what you're looking for but its a decent resource.

>>551233

Yes this. I'm a coder not a decent one but w/e and one of my dreams was to make a sim where one could easily add modifiers to units for combat in tactical, opertational and if I ever finish learning assembly strategic levels. Imagine the chaos.

>>551303

I have. I'm split between wanting to support the devs because muh realisim is a meme and they seem to take it serriously. On the other hand the kikery is real.

>>551122

I think we should if we do is this sim start from rather simple warfare (eg;Non firearms) and work our way up to firearms combat. Not sure how to do the modeling but I'll go find lancaster's laws and see if we can't run one with that.

I've recently been thinking about starting patrol operations in the Big Bend area of the Tex/Mex border. Might post some maps up this weekend.

i would simply ship millions of niggers to canada, canadians will handle all the logistics of resettlement, wait 20 years, then march into mordor and turn off the gibs, thus starving the degenerated goblins and leaving canada entirely depopulated. war on the cheap.

>>551401

If you willing to help me search up numbers and politics atm I would be able to help you war game this. We need 3 people minimum.

>>551799

i would like free early access and a free copy of the game on a disk and steam

>t. op

>inb4 op is fgt

>>551799

What numbers do you need?

>>551835

I'm doing a hand sim first. Then I'll decide if I wanna be Toady level autist with the game.

>>551875

Depends on era. Mainly the level of capable men, armed forces weaponry (if modern), and general population figures.

>>551879

another few features could be elevation, hill/mountain incline, rivers, infastructure, things like that

>>551879

~1990 Hungary

10,568,686 Total population

~100,000 in Army

64,000 were conscripts

77% of Army was ground forces

1,200 T-54 and T-55 tanks

100 Soviet made T-72's

artillery included 225 M-1938 122 mm and 50 M-1943 or D-1 howitzers

90 2S1 122mm and 20 2S3 152mm self propelled guns

Small arms were pretty much copies of Russian guns or Russian guns.

The Avars didn't leave many writings behind so finding numbers is difficult.

~6th century Avar khanganate

~80,000 warriors (made up of multiple subjugated tribes)

20,000 horsemen (mostly heavily armored)

Had some eastern style siege weapons.

>>551898

Yes. Not sure how to factor that in. Perhaps a %damage buff?
